This is just sad. Who would pay them to list their stuff. You could do better at a garage sale with the way they conduct business. Poor photos, poor grammar, poor descriptions, poor responds to emails - there is just nothing that would make me want to bid on this seller's items.

Come on, guys! These are the saddest & sorriest excuse for auctions I've seen in a long time
I wish there were a KIND & INCOGNITO way to contact her & CLUE HER IN?!?!
"If you see the breath taking beauty in this piece, as I have my entire life, please feel free to bid. It has been here for years without repose, there are no cracks or mars..."
WHAT? Sounds like a MORTICIAN for ANTIQUES??

My morbid curiosity got to me - I looked at her feedback and what she bought
Oh my, oh my - she's buying the stuff on ebay, stealing the Sellers pics ... and then relisting the items immediately. Couldnt possibly have the stuff on hand .. maybe she's having the OTHER SELLER ship direct to her new BUYERS. Ya think?
Bad enuf she stole the Shopgoodwill.com photos... WHICH have been replaced with that placeholder BUY pic .... and now other sellers' pics, too.
I'd luv to know what the heck is going thru her mind!

Pictures and descriptions!!!!!!
Look at the Lady doll napkin holder - won by her on 1/22/05 and is already relisted - some photo - same description - lower price so far but she has a reserve on it.
No wonder her descriptions all look different, she has a lot of people writing them???
Now this is just BAD

THATS why the descriptions dont match! I didnt think of that. She's probably writing the FAMILY HISTORY ones, to tie in with her Inheritance Antique Store theme. Yes, BAD, BAD and BADDER!!
Well, at least this breaks up the monotony of my workday... well, back to the slaveship!

She not only can not keep her stories straight, she is now mixing up her plagiarized descriptions with the wrong stolen photos....

OH MY GOSH I read and looked at all her auctions first thing this morning and the dressing table set and vanity set had correct descriptions THEN!!!! This woman has lost her marbles .... maybe their at Good Will! It takes time to do auctions correctly she must spend hours messing them up!And congrats to you CWB for figuring out the description chaos. I was having a hard time trying to understand why she could write a "good clear one" and then mumble on, on the next.. well this is like watching a good horror film will it be a flood of negative feedbacks or will she close everything ??? Which will happen first?
The description that killed me with laughter is the 18kt gold watch that was her GREAT GRANDMOTHERS She's selling the 4th generation family heirloom that incidentally is from the 1960s! Oh my gosh! I still want that dealer list though... looking for a less than $5 auction so I can cash in on the list and/or not loose to much if someone on the other side of the planet owns it!

A colleague of mine here at work actually put a minimum bid on a couple of her Reserved auctions, and 3 out of 4 of them were either cancelled by ebay, ended by Seller - with a 2nd Chance offer sent to her, and just plain ended by Seller with a 'Listing Error' as the reason.
It looks like shes trying to mend her ways - maybe those BUY pics are actually being replaced by her own photos now. I did notice that the total # of her auctions went from 172 or so down to 163. In looking at her closed auctions, she ended a bunch herself. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm .....

Her sell thru rate is just pitiful - but deservedly so. Majority of them do not sell, but apparently she's optimistic.
I just can't imagine putting such hi $ reserved-prices on all those items that she bought on ebay & Goodwill, and then actually expecting to double, triple, quadruple the investment the next week.
